In 1993, Chevrolet celebrated the 40th anniversary of its iconic Corvette sports car. The anniversary included the celebration of the production of the 1 millionth Corvette produced - it rolled off the line in late 1992 - and produced the 40th Anniversary Edition Corvette. The car rode on the C4 platform, the fourth Corvette platform since the car's launch in 1953. The 40th Anniversary Edition represents a uniquely collectible version of a classic American sports car.

The 40th Anniversary Corvette came only in ruby red. The interior followed suit, with ruby red trim and leather seats. Custom headrest embroidery joined the 40th Anniversary car's brightwork and wheel badges on the outside, setting the model apart
